ward is offered for the villain.

An attraction that wac quite interesting
for few minutes, took place last Thursda,
afternoon in the upper part Of the Knob be.

Some mention was made in the REGISTER
of last week to the effect that an attempt
would be made to have church here twice
every month. We would feel greatly grati-
fed and could breathe the pure air of alIev-
iation If We had positiveiassurauces that the
attempt was q success. Services here every
two weeks would induce US to attend twice
q month oftener than we have been in the
habit of.
We observe that the city drug store is now

to end this nuisance:
This town is on the verge Of q water famine;
ii 1t dosen't rain soon, and lots Of 1t too, we
will be in 8 serious condition. People
should be careful about the water they drink
